Conservatives Attack Newt Gingrich With a Vengeance

Reader Comments
Back to blog

Newt was a failure as a conservative two decades ago, and he has even more skeletons in the closet than "the godfather of womanizing".
Why should we send him against Obomber now?
The way forward is clear- Ron Paul is the only one who can defeat Barry and will at least do as he says instead of sweet-talk, flip-flop, and sell-out.

If you'd like to find out what the Pillsbury doughboy does in his spare time, go to Youtube. Type in David Icke interviews Arizona Wilder. But all this aside, do you REALLY want something that answers to Newt in the WH?!

Says “The best thing about conservatives, other than their insistence on being pathetic, racist and wrong, is their admirable ability to destroy one another without a liberal being present”
Really ???
1. How are we wrong ?
2. How are we “RACIST” ??? CAIN is Black. I expect Cain will back Newt. Just because we were against obamacare does not make us racist as lberals & Jimmy Carter say. CBO concludes we can not afford obamacare. Obamacare is not debt neutral by NO MEANS. There were reason for FAST pass and 4+ year wait.
3. Was not us that worried what would happen at 3:00 am if a man name obama had a emergency as President. That would be both Hillary & Biden. Candidates in both parties do in-fighting.

Says “Bill Hedges of MO. mentions that he stepped down as Speaker to "save his party".
That comes from the same link you provided in your comment. I totally agree we can not read anyone's mind. Can only judge his actions. Does his words match his actions ? Is their possible anterior motives ?
Cheating on wife in not necessarily grounds to step down. Newt was reelected. His home State voters made their choice. I don't need to mention all the past men who cheated and stayed in office. Some are legionary sharing same M. Monroe.
Lincoln wanted the brand of booze that Grant drank, so he could send to his other Generals. Because his other ones were not fighting and/or not winning. I worry more about them doing their job than their personal life. Cheating on wife has no/little connection to doing the people's work in my book. Not that I like saying that. But we are not perfect beings.
Newt as Speaker admitted fault. HOW RARE. Newt accomplished much working with Democrats. Something dearly needed today. SOME SAY Newt is not conservative enough, I see compromise in progress once elected and facing real world circumstances in Congress. Newt could not get all in Contract with America. I think I am talking to the choir saying this to you.
So I end with my normal way. obuma/Fed reserve loaning $$$ multi-trillions to foreign banks is a TRUE OUTRAGE. Countries in Europe are considering paying back debt 50 cents on the $$$ or less. What happens to U.S.A. If our loan meets that fate ? Why NO Congressional approval ???

Phil Esteen of TX:
If your objective is political posturing, I wouldn't go there if I were you....
Although Gingrich was fined $300K by an "ethics committee", and he stepped out on one of his three wives at least once (possibly more), President Obama is certainly guilty of treason in the highest degree by virtue, alone, of his wrecklessly spending vitually trillions of our taxpayer dollars, regardless if haphazardly or conscientiously, as overwhelmingly evidenced anywhere one choses to look (ie; Google: Obama Lies and/or Obama Blames).
.....the comparison would be that of the volume of a marble (Gingrich) to the volume of the planet Earth (Obama)!
However, I would admit that I am disturbed by certain behaviors and the integrity of Newt Gingrich:
1) Gingrich has been married three times, and he has been accused of having a multitude of extramarital affairs, although he has only admitted to one -- with the woman who would eventually become his third and present wife.
Also, after having two daughters with his first wife, they were divorced in 1980. She accused him of discussing divorce terms during her recuperation from cancer. Six months later, he married his second wife, Marianne Ginther, whom he divorced in 2000. During their marriage, he was having an affair with Callista Bisek around the time Kenneth Starr was investigating President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
http://usconservatives.about.com/od/champions/p/NewtGingrichBIO.htm
2) Following the 1996 elections, many House Republicans blamed the GOP's weakened position on Gingrich. Meanwhile, Democrats filed a raft of ethics charges at him in an ironic attempt to get him to resign. Gingrich ultimately pleaded guilty and in 1997 was fined more than $300,000. Gingrich maintained that the statements made against him were "inaccurate" and "unreliable."
Again: http://usconservatives.about.com/od/champions/p/NewtGingrichBIO.htm
The unanswered questions remain brutally obvious. If Gingrich was innocent, why did he ultimately pay the "ethics committee" the $300K? If I were totally innocent of a specific charge, no one would get a freaking dime out of me, particularly if I had previously received the graces of the IRS, and the initial approval of the same "ethic committee". Bill Hedges of MO. mentions that he stepped down as Speaker to "save his party". Athough there is circumstantial evidence to this effect, I'm not totally convinced.
Inasmuch as the story of Newt "discussing divorce terms during his wife's recuperation from cancer", Gingrich has disputed that account, along with the confirmation of their daughter, Jackie Gingrich Cushman, said "that it was her mother who requested the divorce, that it happened prior to a hospital stay for her treatment of Cancer".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt_Gingrich
So, at what point in time did Newt discuss divorce proceedings with this wife?
Basically, Newt Gingrich is a politician.
How many politicians do you know are honest and truthful?

John Wayne of NM 10:55AM December 05, 2011

I don't know what's more pathetic. These Republican douche bags or the fact the Democrats STILL can't muster enough support to put them out of the picture for good.

Eric of CA 9:15AM December 05, 2011

So conservatives are badgering Newt because he isn't 'authentically white' enough? The best thing about conservatives, other than their insistence on being pathetic, racist and wrong, is their admirable ability to destroy one another without a liberal being present.
Keep up the good work, right wingers!

brucetee _ See how I answer all of your comment. See how you ignore what I write. Best way for you to be a liberal. Cover your eyes and ears. Live in our own world...
1. Says “clear thinking people DO know about the newstster's shady past”
Must be why Newt has large lead Nationally and leads in 3 States out of 4 polls. Or is it “clear thinking people ”(short for liberal) don't participate in polls.
2. Says “if newt gets the nomination theres a better than 50/50 chance that the pres. gets another four years”
With approval rating so low. Only thing lower is his job approval rating. Ranked worse President. There is so much obama has done to America. $$$ trillions given to foreign banks in Europe. Over there they are talking paying back 50 cents on the dollar or less. That could lose our “AA” rating into one with “A” not in our rating. Maybe “aa”.
3. Says “my admonition,be careful what you wish for.”
Americans voted out Democrats in record numbers Nov. 2, 2010. You haven't seen nothing yet. Your buddy Karl Rowe sees Newt in the WH. Earlier, if the $$$ trillions gave to foreign banks comes out. Explain that one to the real number 20 % unemployed obuma.
Compared to obuma, Newt is crystal clean...

Bill Hedges of MO 2:08AM December 05, 2011

mr. bill you and the other members of the newt fan club have this problem.clear thinking people DO know about the newstster's shady past.if newt gets the nomination theres a better than 50/50 chance that the pres. gets another four years.
my admonition,be careful what you wish for.

You are factual ??? Then when you said Newt was fired from House and religious folks would not vote for Newt why was that not true. Newt was not FIRED. Newt was re-elected. You were also wrong about Newt's IRS problems, for courts cleared him. Get off that you talk FACTS garbage. Is NORM I prove you do not. I have posted link that gave the facts of Newt's baggage. Have also posted links to clarify those problems. Much of that posted today. So can read and well, you won't understand. I don't write for you to know, you can't. Others can read with understanding.
This fact will not go away OBUMA:
“Secret Federal Reserve System data released December 1 reveals that the banking cartel (the Fed and its member banks) bailed itself out to the tune of more than $10 tri"Fed Data Reveals Trillions in Bailouts to Big Foreign Banks"llion in “emergency” funds, with trillions more going to line the pockets of big European and foreign banks"
"The $700 billion Wall Street bailout turned out to be pocket change compared to trillions and trillions of dollars in near zero interest loans and other financial arrangements that the Federal Reserve doled out to every major financial institution," said self-described socialist Senator Sanders after learning about the Fed data.”
